Blue is there a way to invest in the FOOD STAMP program it is growing more then any business I have heard of lately. I think one out of every five families is getting them now. :roll: Up a bunch from the Bush years. :-P

Sterling , there are lots of ways to invest and make money off food stamps if you think that is the wave of the future. You could buy some crop land and sell food to Obama. You could buy shares of stock in food companies and grocery stores. There’s probably even ETFs that specialize in the food supply sector. You could open a futures account and trade the commodity food stuffs directly. Lots of ways.

Didn’t Hillary make 100K trading cattle futures in the 1990s? Surely the right wings beeks know more about investing than Hillary? Right? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Yes, make yourself immune to insider trading laws - crush the competition of your chosen investment by literally regulating them to death while giving exemptions and exceptions to the one(s) you invested in.

That was apparently the entire 3 branches. I'm pretty confident I'm in the general ballpark - as to specifics I'm sure someone with clean hands (Ha!) would have taken political advantage of that already.

So then Obama is using the food stamp program to boost our bad economy. He is taking money away from working people. giving it to people who do not work, people who illegally are in our country, people who are radicals, people who are frauds so they will spend it on food, gunpowder, pressure cookers, strip clubs, gambling casinos and tattoo parlors so the Obama donators can get richer and donate more. And if I invest in one of these businesses who produce things that the SNAP and EBT card carriers frequent I will get rich and be a 1%er also.Pretty slick, thanks Blue

“Delusion” is a belief held with strong conviction despite superior evidence to the contrary.

Now that we have that definition out of the way, please provide me a link showing where food stamps are used to get into strip clubs?

And no, you won’t become a 1%er by buying stocks on the retail market. If you want to become a 1%er you need to be a Wall Street Insider. You need to get in pre IPO. Are you ready to move to the big city with all those liberals? :)

NY POSTWelfare recipients took out cash at bars, liquor stores, X-rated video shops, hookah parlors and even strip clubs — where they presumably spent their taxpayer money on lap dances rather than diapers, a Post investigation found.

A database of 200 million Electronic Benefit Transfer records from January 2011 to July 2012, obtained by The Post through a Freedom of Information request, showed welfare recipients using their EBT cards to make dozens of cash withdrawals at ATMs inside Hank’s Saloon in Brooklyn; the Blue Door Video porn shop in the East Village; The Anchor, a sleek SoHo lounge; the Patriot Saloon in TriBeCa; and Drinks Galore, a liquor distributor in The Bronx

It was in NY it has been on the news. Google EBT cards at strip clubs for more info.

That said, I’m just amazed the EBT cards aren’t locked into a grocery store chain(s) if their purpose is to put food on the table. Why not just give out vouchers for Krogers, Publix, Piggly Wiggly, or whatever your local grocery store is? Put the dang IRS in charge of that program!

I would vote to make it a one strike and you’re out program. You see, I am a moderate after all. X:X

The only way to make MONEY off of food stamps is to open a convenience store or even better an organic green grocery then use your store's eligibility to accept EBD cards or food stamps to trade for either cash, liquor, or cigarettes at a discount, them redeem the stamps or EIB transactions at face value. Millions of people do this every month, often in order to buy or even sell illegal drugs to the beneficiaries.

at least with the old food stamps you could only redeem them for food. with the card, you can get cash and spend it on anything. years ago, CA tried to have an aproved list of groceris that could be purchased with food stamps. the dogooders stepped in and stopped it. why? because it would make the food stamp people feel bad. why don't we have food stamps anymore? because using food stamps make the people feel bad.

i want them to feel bad. that way they will do their best to get off the EBT card. it's not anyones job to make someone feel good with the hard earned money taken from others.
